steve schwartz says:
A wonderful tribute to craftsmanship.
Ralph Wood says:
What a lovely boat! Reminds me of the sonderclass Todd built for me. Just for the less affluent amongst us.
David Heal says:
Spectacular — a terrific way to start the day!
jan labij says:
And what a tribute to N.G. Herreschoff’s engineering genius and his artistic eye. She is much more handsome in her gaff rig, but is a pretty girl marconi rigged also. Just not as much so.
Joseph Farese says:
Makes me want to jump back into the game and move to Belfast . Maybe if I camp out in front of French & Webb I’ll get a shot at a bench there! Sure miss my time at Merritts! Beautiful job on this video!!!
Spencer Cason says:
What a great film. Bringing together the brilliant minds and craftsmen of the Herreshoff generation and today’s brilliant minds and craftsmen of modern day. Wonderful piece of work.
Thank you

To quote an Aussie technical term- ‘Bloody marvellous’.

Wonderful story beautifully presented. As a Herreshoff boat sailor, it gives me great pleasure to see a perfect restoration of a member of the Herreshoff boat family. Thanks!

Fascinating. I love to see the craftsmen at work. I could watch all day. So much to learn.
Avery Seaman Jr says:
An incredible story. The research, engineering, and creative thinking are over the top! I will assume the price tag was as well, but what a beautiful result!
Doug Sherr says:
Let’s hear it for the filmmaker!

Howard Hilliard says:
I usually watch your videos on my iPad or phone, but when this started I quickly realized it needed a bigger screen. I finally made it up to my home office and started over with the lights off and the doors closed. What a great way to start the day in the company of people like Todd French, Dennis Gunderson and Evelyn Ansel. The boat is a jewel and clearly deserves the recognition she has received. And to have an owner and crew so well matched to her capabilities is a true reward for all the effort that has gone into her restoration.
